Ireland division rebrand

Staffline, the recruitment and training group, confirms that Grafton Recruitment Ireland Ltd, which was acquired by the Group in July 2018, has formally rebranded to Staffline Recruitment Ireland with effect from 1 July 2020.

Staffline Recruitment Ireland is the leading recruitment business in Ireland by market share. It currently has 10 offices, offering dynamic recruitment solutions across fintech, cyber security, pharma, science, agri-food, manufacturing and professional services.

The rebrand will enable this division to leverage the established Staffline brand and is also in-line with the Company's strategy to unify its existing brands within recruitment, in order to drive synergies and grow opportunities. In addition, management remains focused on reducing the operational silos that exist across the Group as it continues to leverage the best in its people's skills and experience to ultimately increase market share.

Tina McKenzie, Managing Director of Staffline Recruitment Ireland, commented:

"We are delighted to be adopting the Staffline brand, in what is an exciting milestone for the business. Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, we remain in an excellent position to further strengthen our recruitment offering, build on our significant footprint and provide exciting opportunities for those seeking employment across Ireland."

Ian Lawson, Executive Chairman of Staffline, added:

"This rebrand is a significant step in our strategy to unify our business units, leverage the strong brands that exist within the Group and drive potential synergies. We look forward to providing further updates as we continue to implement our near-term strategy to create a sustainable business that leverages its existing resources to capitalise on the significant opportunities that exist within our target markets."
